When the boat arrived in the center of the river, there were fewer passing boats, and the children saw that Zhao Xing's attitude was full of encouragement and connivance, and their behavior became more indulgent, and many children sang Professor Zhao Xing's tune excitedly while shooting arrows. Most of these minor tunes are songs that have been changed by Song Ci in later generations.

Jiang Zhou first entered the Pojiang River in Poyang, then turned into Wuyang Water, and landed in Jianning, Zhao Xing rushed to Quanzhou from No. 6 with several children, and Huo Xiaoyi drove back by boat. Along the way, a lot of mountain goods were sold along the boat, but the Song Dynasty was a completely self-sufficient era of small-scale peasant economy.

The Song Dynasty was a model of ancient Chinese civilization, and in this era, all the contents of Chinese civilization had been basically formed, and in addition to the three-season ripe Champa rice, cotton cultivation was also very popular, especially in the Poyang Lake area. In order to disguise their weapons, Zhao Xing purchased a large amount of cotton cloth from Poyang Lake, sewed them into cloth bags, packed bows and arrows into bags, and carried only simple wooden canes with them.

When you enter the Fujian area, you feel that you are two worlds from the Poyang Lake area. Fujian is mountainous, arable land is scarce, and the mountain people make a living by going to sea for business or hunting, and there are significantly more people carrying bows and arrows here than in Hubei. However, the bows and arrows they carried were simple wooden bows, and their power was not worth mentioning.

Ancient Chinese bows and arrows liked to use animal tendons to make bowstrings, especially ox tendons. In all dynasties, animal tendon is a strategic substance. This is mainly because cotton had not yet been introduced to China during the Bronze Age, so the Chinese people who liked to follow the ancient system were not yet accustomed to using cotton thread as a bowstring. With a simple fire-roasted bow and animal tendons, the power of such a bow and arrow can be imagined.

Zhao Xing was accustomed to seeing the exaggerated range of bows and arrows in martial arts, and he thought that even if the smoothbore gun had a range of 60 meters, the range of ancient Chinese bows and arrows could at least catch up with the "made in Hanyang" - there was a range of 400 meters, but after encountering several groups of "bandits and single-handed" along the way, he knew that the range of the broken bow was only more than ten meters, and the power of the bow and arrow was about the same as that of mosquito bites.

This reminded him of a few costume movies, on which, after a certain general was surrounded, the archers around him shot arrows ten meters away from him, and the arrows fired were so slow that the general casually waved the barrel of his gun and peeled off a group of arrows - no wonder there were archery techniques and dodging archery techniques in ancient times...... It turns out that this thing is not very difficult, at least those bows and arrows are not as good as modern table tennis.

The road conditions in the Song Dynasty are very pointed, Zhao Xing and his entourage spent five days crossing Poyang Lake, but walked from 6 places for ten days, only to walk out of a cliff-long distance, however, this journey is also rewarding, although the ten children are not very old, but they are armed with Zhao Xing's modified bow and arrow, can crush the interception of bandits at a long distance, as a result, after walking for a few days, Zhao Xing has followed three caravans behind them. These caravans were very tacit and paced closely behind Zhao Xing, they walked the caravan, they stopped the caravan.

At noon on this day, Zhao Xing and the others turned over a mountain kiln, saw a tea house not far away, looked back at the caravan behind them, and Zhao Xing ordered: "Rest for a while, go into the store and drink water." ”

Zhao Xing was a person who adhered to the principle of "convenience with others, convenience for himself", followed by the caravan, although he obviously had the intention of taking advantage of them, and did not pay them protection money, he had to follow them closely in order to seek refuge. But he didn't feel that he was at a loss - he came to this world alone, he could make more friends, or he could give more help to others, and he didn't have to pay extra for things that were convenient, so why bother others, so he acquiesced to the caravan following.

In fact, children are not tired at this time - as children, they are always full of energy, and the novelty of going out for the first time makes them always rush forward, hoping to know what the world ahead is. In order to take care of the caravan behind, Zhao Xing kept lowering their degree. This break is also purely for the care of them.

The owner of the tea house is a lame Gansu man, he limps for everyone to pour full of tea, the fragrant tea of the mountain residence is quite a bit of the taste of green tea of the descendants, the color is green, and there is a fragrance of grass and trees.

The teapot was originally dropped in the well and was chilled, and Zhao Xing, who was sweating profusely, drank a big bowl in one go, he wiped his mouth, and tasted the fragrance of tea leisurely.

According to the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, long and leisurely, after Zhao Xing finished drinking tea, the children also picked up the bowls, and drank the tea with a bang, at this time, the caravan also arrived, they also bought a few pots of tea while shouting, ready to rest and sweat and continue to hurry.

When the teapot was handed to an old guest in the caravan, he looked at the tea hesitantly, picked up the cup but did not drink the tea, just sniffed, and when he raised his eyes to look around, the lame shopkeeper was carrying a pot of new tea approaching Zhao Xing, with a flattering smile on his face, and said: "Official, is the tea just now too tasteless, there is a pot of strong tea here, how many cups do the officials drink?" ”

The old guest sniffed the tea again in confusion, his eyes pouted at Zhao Xing, at this time, Zhao Xing sat with his eyes closed, as if he was reminiscing about the taste of the tea, and his mouth kept clicking...... The old guest suddenly threw the teacup and shouted, "Stop, there is sweat medicine in the tea!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the lame shopkeeper threw away the teapot, turned over and left, but at this moment, Zhao Xing suddenly opened his eyes, hooked one leg, and hooked the other party to the ground, and then he shouted: "Alert!" ”

As he spoke, the children immediately gathered around him, took out bows and arrows and weapons, and ten children worked in groups of three to form three battle groups, and the rest of Cheng Xia picked up a stool as a shield, stood beside the teacher, and held the wooden stick in his hand in a grabbing posture.

There was a clanging sound in the tea house, and then more than twenty disheveled men rushed out, all of them with their chests open, each looking fierce and vicious...... The only regret is that they are too short, standing in front of Zhao Xing with knives and guns, like aggressive chickens standing in front of eagles.

Zhao Xing's left foot had already stepped on the shopkeeper's neck, and his No. 42 big foot stuffed the shopkeeper's thin neck full, and the shopkeeper needed to stretch his neck as much as possible not to be pinched by these big feet. Zhao Xing turned a blind eye to the bandits who appeared violently, and he picked up the teapot that fell to the ground with a curious face, carefully avoiding the remaining tea in the pot from spilling.

"Sweat medicine?! …… I've always been curious - we've been praising the story of the sweat pill since the Tang Dynasty, and I've often wondered, if there is a sweat pill in China, then what about barbiturate salt? It turns out that we really have sweat medicine...... I was still thinking just now, the fragrance of this tea is wrong, why the root of the tongue is a little numb after drinking it, it turns out to be the legendary sweat medicine. Zhao Xing said, poured the residual tea from the teapot into the pot, picked up the cup and tasted it.

The old customer who had just noticed the sweat medicine immediately shouted: "Xiucai be careful! ”
